Request; Economic Analysis of 

Shoreline Treatment Options for 

Coastal New Hampshire 

The Department of Commerce will 

submit the following information 

collection request to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995, on or after the date of publication 

of this notice. We invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed, and continuing 

information collections, which helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. Public 

comments were previously requested 

via the Federal Register on April 26, 

2021 (86 FR 22034) during a 60-day 

comment period. This notice allows for 

an additional 30 days for public 

comments. 

Agency: National Oceanic & 

Atmospheric Administration, 

Commerce. 

Title: Economic Analysis of Shoreline 

Treatment Options for Coastal New 

Hampshire. 

OMB Control Number: 0648–0788. 

Form Number(s): None. 

Type of Request: Regular submission 

[revision of a current information 

collection]. 

Number of Respondents: 2,701. 

Average Hours per Response: 

Pretest—17 minutes; Full survey—20 

minutes; Non-response survey—5 

minutes. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 824. 

Needs and Uses: This is a request for 

a revision to information collection 

0648–0788, sponsored by the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration (NOAA) National Center 

for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS). 

This collection will benefit the NOAA, 

Office of Coastal Management (OCM), 

and decision-makers on the state and 

local level in New Hampshire. NOAA 

will collect economic data pursuant to 

the Coastal Zone Management Act 

(CZMA) and Digital Coastal Act. 

The New Hampshire Coastal Risk and 

Hazards Commission (CRHC) was 

established by the State Legislature 

through RSA 483–E on July 2, 2013. The 

purpose of the Commission, as stated in 

the law, is to ‘‘recommend legislation, 

rules and other actions to prepare for 

projected sea-level rise and other coastal 

watershed hazards such as storms, 

increased river flooding and storm water 

runoff, and the risks such hazards pose 

to municipalities and the state assets in 

New Hampshire.’’ Further, in carrying 

out this charge, the Commission is 

specifically directed to ‘‘review National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration and other scientific 

agency projections of coastal storm 

inundation and flood risk to determine 

the appropriate information, data, and 

property risks’’ to incorporate into its 

recommendations. 

In 2016, the CRCH recommended the 

development of a ‘‘comprehensive, 

integrated New Hampshire Coastal 

Shoreline Management Plan (CSMP) 

that presents general priorities for 

coastal shoreline management, as well 

as site-specific and place-based 

strategies including, where appropriate, 

protection, adaptation, and 

abandonment.’’ Following a New 

Hampshire Shoreline Management 

workshop organized by GBNERR in 

2014 and consistent with CRHC 

Recommendation BL6, NHCP has 

prioritized living shoreline assessment 

and implementation in its five-year 

strategy to enhance coastal management 

(309 Strategy, 2015) and set a longer 

term goal to develop a Tidal Shoreline 

Management Plan (TSMP) for New 

Hampshire. 

The National Ocean Service (NOS) 

proposes to collect economic data to 

document perceived effects of weather 

and climate events and adaptation 

strategies, to assess probable public 

benefits that would be derived from 

shoreline treatment options within 

coastal New Hampshire, and to establish 

a baseline for future monitoring of 

NOAA’s success in meeting its 

mandates and obligations. 

Respondents will be randomly 

sampled from households (1) within 

New Hampshire, (2) within block 

groups in Maine adjacent to the 

Piscataqua River, and (3) within block 

groups in Massachusetts adjacent to the 

Hampton-Seabrook Estuary. Questions 

will explore such issues as participation 

in recreational activities, familiarity 

with weather and climate effects and 

adaptation methods, sense of place, and 

opinions on shoreline treatment 

options. No PII will be collected. The 

final collection will support the 

development of a CSMP for New 

Hampshire as well as provide 

information to help inform local coastal 

zone management and planning. 

Upon analysis of the pre-test data and 

guidance from experts in survey 

methodology, the following changes 

were made to enhance understanding, 

response rate, and to minimize 

respondent burden: 

• Question 4: ‘‘suffered damage’’ has 

been replaced with ‘‘been damaged’’ to 

avoid potential bias an increase data 

quality. 

• Questions 7a/8a: ‘‘coastal flooding’’ 

has been replaced with ‘‘flooding’’ to 

not exclude riverine flooding. 

• Questions 7a/8a, 7b/8b: ‘‘flooding 

damage’’ and ‘‘shoreline erosion 

damage’’ were replaced with ‘‘damage 

from flooding’’ and ‘‘damage from 

shoreline erosion’’ to improve 

understanding. 

• Questions 14h and 14i were 

removed based on pre-test results to 

reduce burden without decreasing data 

quality. 

• Questions 16–21 originally asked 

respondents to indicate their preference 

to six unique policy options, but now 

respondents are asked to compare three 

sets of unique policy options. Pre-test 

results suggested that respondents 

would prefer to compare policies rather 

than rate them individually, and 

comparing three sets of policy options 

should reduce burden while increasing 

data quality. 

• Question 22b: This question is now 

asked after each policy comparison 

instead of once to improve data quality. 

• Question 22f: ‘‘a public vote or 

referendum’’ was replaced with ‘‘being 

considered by the New Hampshire 

legislature’’ to convey the same 

information, but using region-specific 

terminology, which should increase 

data quality. 

• Question 22: An additional 

statement was added to capture 

potentially invalid responses due to 

‘‘scenario rejection,’’ which should 

increase data quality. 

• Question 23: The question and 

response option phrasings have been 

updated to reflect the modified choice 

experiment. 

• Question 30: The year has been 

updated from 2019 to 2020 when asking 

about the previous year’s household 

income. 

• A question has been added to ask 

how long the respondent has been a

resident of their current state. 

Respondents who have recently moved 

within their state may have different 

opinions than those who have recently 

moved from out-of-state, so this 

additional question should increase data 

quality. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
